The Deaf Princess Who Saved a Family from the Holocaust

Video Description

👑 She was born deaf… but in Nazi-occupied Athens, that silence became her greatest weapon. This is the extraordinary true story of Princess Alice of Battenberg — mother of Prince Philip, grandmother of King Charles III, and great-grandmother of Prince William. From her troubled years in exile and forced institutionalization under Sigmund Freud, to her transformation into a nun who gave up jewels and privilege, Alice’s life was filled with hardship. But in 1943, as the Gestapo hunted Athens’ Jews, Alice hid Rachel Cohen and her children in her own home — just steps from Nazi headquarters. She risked death daily, using her deafness to deceive Nazi officers, and ultimately saved the family from deportation to Auschwitz. Decades later, her legacy touched the crown itself: the oil that anointed King Charles III in 2023 was pressed from olives grown near her grave in Jerusalem. ✨ A journey through tragedy, sacrifice, faith, and the courage of a princess who proved that true nobility lies not in jewels, but in the lives we choose to save. #PrincessAlice #PrincePhilip #KingCharlesIII #PrinceWilliam #RoyalJewels #HolocaustHistory ------------------------------------------- Let's Connect! 🔥SUBSCRIBE to my Youtube Channel / @BehindTheGift -------------------------------------------- Behind The Gift All the videos, songs, images, and graphics used in the video belong to their respective owners and I or this channel do not claim any right over them.
